[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in what used to be a super fun snow day neighborhood but all the kids grew up and graduated and now there are like 5 kids under the age of 12 and the neighbors don't socialize. I don't think this neighborhood will ever get back to being super fun. So there's that.[/quote]

Exactly. Most likely that culture was driven by a handful of families who had similar-aged kids and developed organic friendships and it grew from there. But kids grow and people get older. It's impossible to maintain that magic.

Also, if you are an outgoing person who makes friends easily, you can probably create a community somewhat like this anywhere. And if you aren't, then you might not like it anyway. Some people wouldn't like this kind of culture because they are introverted and prefer a more hands-off relationship with neighbors. They don't want to judge a snowman competition and contribute a dish to the neighborhood snow day potluck -- they want to curl up inside with a book without anyone thinking they are being selfish or standoffish.[/quote]
